Pest Control for Lavender Plants

Pest Control for Lavender Plants Lavender plants, while hardy, can attract pests like aphids, whiteflies, and spider mites. To control these pests, start by regularly inspecting your plants for signs of infestation. If you spot any, use insecticidal soap or a mixture of water and neem oil to gently spray the affected areas. For severe cases, pruning the affected parts of the plant can help limit the spread. To prevent pests, ensure your lavender is grown in well-draining soil with proper air circulation and avoid overwatering, which can make the plant more susceptible to pests. Natural predators, like ladybugs, can also help control aphids and other pests.
